The Old Ship Inn is an attractive looking Tudor roadhouse style of pub with leaded and frosted windows helping give a traditional look to the place. It's situated approx 10 minutes walk from the centre of Macclesfield in a northerly direction, crossing over what appears to be the ring road for through traffic.
The interior consists of a single bar, simply but comfortably furnished with much wood panelling and a separate snooker room at the back. Of particular note is a framed list of pubs in Macclesfield in alphabetical order in the year 1910 which listed approx 140 pubs, but for some reason it only went up to the letter "R", so there were probably 200 plus in total.
There's an outdoor drinking area at the back, part under shelter. Note the mannequin of a sailor on the roof at the back.
Beers on, on my early evening visit, were Worthington plus 2 from the local Storm Brewery - Ale Force and Bosley Cloud, both pleasant pints at £ 2.10p. The presence of additional pumps indicated that the normal range was probably greater than this.The pub is CAMRA friendly and copies of the local branch magazine were available. The pub is listed in the 2010 CAMRA Good Beer Guide and was recently voted Macclesfield and East Cheshire Winter Pub of the Year for 2009.
My knowledge of Macclesfield pubs is virtually negligible, so I don't know how this pub compares with the competition, but I enjoyed the visit and I'd be more than happy to revisit if the opportunity presented itself

The Old Ship Inn is a decent looking pub with the upper half in mock tudor and there was also hanging baskets which helped make the pub look inviting.
Once inside there was one room that was quite smart and there was also a decent choice of real ales on the bar with four available i had a drink of Storm Ale Force and this was a very nice drink the other beers were Bass, Everards Tiger bitter and Worthington bitter.
I thought this was a decent comfortable pub to have a few drinks in.
